We stayed at Hillside view house for 2 nights and we absolutely loved it! The house is on the top of the hill and everything was just like the pictures. The mountain view from the house is amazing and exactly what we expected! There was nothing on the surrounding area to disturb the silence of this peaceful landscape. It is the perfect place to escape from the daily routine and relax. The house was in excellent condition, very clean, beautifully decorated and well equipped with everything we needed. Christodoulos and his wife Eleni personally welcomed us. They were very friendly and helpful and provided us with all the useful information about the house and the area. There is access to any amenities you may need in just five minutes by car. We will definitely come back next time we visit Cyprus and we highly recommend this house if you are looking for peaceful holidays. Thanks Christodoulos and Eleni!

SofiaSeptember 2016

Our stay at the house was amazing and Christodoulos was a great host. Despite not living in the area, Christodoulos made the effort to be at the house when we arrived to welcome us and quickly show us around. The house itself is in a perfect location, overlooking the nearby village and equipped with everything you may need for a relaxed and enjoyable stay. We would definitely recommend the house to anyone looking to spend a few days in the area.

Our stay in Vasilis's flat was perfect, it is situated in the Troodos mountains where were able to enjoy a few great hikes along the local trails. Vasilis is a great host and was very responsive in any questions we had. If I am ever in the Troodos Mountains again, I will surely use Vasilis' place again

AshSeptember 2016

Dear Vasilis, dear Christina and Kosta, we very much enjoyed staying in your mountain summer house. It had the perfect location for us to be in the Troodos mountains for our bird- and nature studies. It is spacious and fully equipped and the balkony is huge and full of spices, plants and roses. The setting is calm and relaxing. It is refreshingly cool up there (about 10° C less), when it's hot down in the cities. Must be wonderful in summer. We enjoyed the view and on clear days one can even see the sea. We used the internet in the Karvounas Cafe, which is within walking distance. Christina, thanks for your generous help and hospitality! You have a good heart! We would love to come back one day.

CyraJune 2016

The house was exactly as described. Very comfortable with a lovely view. Ideal for exploring the Troodos area.

YvonneSeptember 2016

We didn't get to meet Vasilis personally and only stayed for two nights. The location was perfect to explore the surrounding area. The apartment was well equipped, we found everything we needed. The mattress was a bit uncomfortable, but other than that we had two nice days.

JohannesSeptember 2015

Vasilis has a little gem of an apartment tucked away in the mountains. I loved sitting on the balcony having my morning coffe, watching the world go by below.

We had enjoyed a lot to stay in Andreas place. We stayed 12 nights and it was a shame to leave. The place is amazing. The house is very good equipped, designed with good taste and magic energy. The surrounding is very welcoming. We almost hadn't had to travel around. it was very good just to stay. Made a lot of tracks and walking. Andreas and his wife Yianna are very pleasant people. It was a wonderful experience for us. We are waiting for the next opportunity to visit.

KatiaAugust 2015

Having stayed and enjoyed one of Andreas' other apartments [also located in Polistipos] we thought we would visit the main house this year. It was nothing short of perfect, check in and check out was flexible to suit our needs and the place had everything that we could have needed and more. Andreas is a great host. This place is strongly recommended. Thank you Andrea.

Mario&AlexDecember 2015

Andreas is an excellent host. He and his wife were waiting at the mountain home to receive us. He is very personable and explained everything. The house is very clean and meets all are needs. He introduced us to a neighbor living in a section of the house below us. The neighbor had a friendly dog that my 4 grandchildren took to a liking. The house is surrounded by lots of herbs and fruit trees. The large, expansive deck overlooked the entire village of Polystypos. What a view !! The deck became shaded by early afternoon and the weather was excellent.

ElliotJuly 2015

If you like mountains, clean air with the smell of pine needles, serpentine roads, the view from the bird's-eye view, privacy, coolness, comfort combined with rural flavor, it is home - for you. We took unforgettable days. Andreas took care of everything we easily found the house and in the house everything you need. There was a feeling that we are not at a party, and at home.

AlexandrMarch 2015

Apartment was great. Balcony with awesome view and living room with a real fireplace. We were two couples and it was very roomy. Andreas was really sweet and helpful. One of our best airbnb finds!

RonApril 2016

This is a fabulous memorable place to stay. The house is great and Andreas is a great host.

JerryAugust 2016

A very good combination between nice and confortable house, wonderful panorama, central location in Cyprus and short access to mountains tracks. Anderas and his house are warm and friendly. Hope to come again...

ISAACApril 2014

Great place, great location. We loved the freedom and the peace. Andreas is a gentleman and the house was a great place to relax after a full day of sight-seeing. We over the warmth of the home and the vista was beautiful. The local village and the people are warm and friendly and we can't wait to go back. Highly recommended. Thanks Andreas. We loved our 17 nights there. It felt like home.

Situated above the village of Polystipos among the pine trees, the house offers a getaway from the city life. It accommodates 6 people in two bedrooms and it's within walking distance to amenities to the village center.

Two bedroom house with two double beds, one bank bed and two sofa beds. Bathroom with shower, water heater, water pressure system, fridge/freezer, washing machine, charcoal BBQ, gas hob, electric fan oven, iron, wood fire, lcd tv and free community wi-fi.
I am always available through my mobile number, text messages or email.

The village of Polystipos has the privilege to be included among the villages of Cyprus having the highest altitude since it is built at an altitude of 1150 meters and simultaneously has the "privilege" to be one of the smallest villages of the province of Nicosia since it is the third smaller one in administrative extent having an area of 239 hectares.
The name Polystipos is complex and implies a locality with many "stipes" that is to say plants of vine. Consequently Polystipos means a locality with a lot of vines. In the old years the region of the village was full of vines which were decreased considerably during the 18th century (the period of the Ottoman domination), because most of them were abandoned after a special taxation that was imposed in the production of wine and it was judged as disadvantageous.
Since you had come from the city, then don’t lose the occasion to live for a few hours, a unique experience, enjoying the clean air and a walk, discovering the magic of nature.
1. Hazel Trees Valley –Hazel Trees Forest
This beautiful valley becomes green at the beginning of April and maintains its color up to autumn. In May you have the occasion to hear the singing of the nightingales and in August to try the tasty fresh hazelnuts.
The path for the hazel trees forest begins from "Vrysi" – a natural water source with pure water at the lower neighborhood of the village. The path goes downhill and you can see various species of trees such as walnut trees, pomegranates, and almond trees. However the hazel trees are fantastic. The vegetation of these trees is dense and look like bushes because they do not have only one trunk but they have up to 50 branches beginning from the ground.
Butterflies and small birds make the way even more beautiful. Undeniably the most important type of flora is the orchid Epipactis Microphylla, that blooms only next to the roots of a hazel tree. An endemic type for Cyprus that is not met elsewhere. This orchid has small white flowers that pop up at the beginning of every May. The path has duration of 35-40 minutes. You can cross a small stream and pass opposite, where the choices become two. Either you continue the course in the valley or you stop under the "Kladous tou Hadjimattheou". Two very old enormous oak trees that embellish the region throughout the entire year. Then you can take the uphill rural street that drives you to the monastery of Apostle Andrea and to the main asphalt street that drives you to Nicosia.
2. Μαdari
The absolute calm and peacefulness, the banquet of the colors of autumn yellow, red, orange and brown, the white veils of winter, the green ornaments of spring, as well as the huge "Teisia", have changed Madari into a paradise.
It's an ideal place for romantic walks, study of flora and fauna, mountaineering, walking and much more.
Begin from the upper neighborhood of the village and take the uphill street for Lagoudera, Agros and Kyperounta. With a car in 5 minutes you will be at the borders of Nicosia-Limassol where you will see a relative plate and turn right to the uphill asphalt street. You will travel for another 5 minutes and the street will finish at an abandoned military outpost.
Park your car there and start walking. You will believe that you are at the top of the Earth. With a clean sky you can observe the entire Nicosia and Limassol. The immense peacefulness you carry you away and when you see the "Teisia of Madari" (natural stone walls) you will realize that nature is the best sculptor and architect of all the seasons. If you have time walk at the path of "Teisia", (where it exists a relative plate), that goes perimetrically and finishes under the fire guardhouse that is found at an altitude of 1493 meters. In the course you will see "Latzies" (forest tree) that abounds in the region, "antrouklies", "pemperisies", "wild roses" and the "Aorato of Madari", one of the 4 types that exist in Cyprus and that exists only in the Madari region. If you still bear after 1,5 hours of walking, go up to the fire guardhouse. The view will compensate you. You will never see in your life anything similar. With very good weather and little luck, without humidity and clouds, perhaps you will be able to see everything up to the southern beach of Turkey.
Return in your car from the rural street that passes above the path (10 minutes on foot) and return to the village or take the street for Limassol.
Every autumn the thousands vines of Madari, are submerged by the presumptive lovers, that participate in the collective festival of vintage, enjoying the tasty grapes, that are considered the best table Cypriot grapes.
3. Virgin Mary of Araka
Four kilometers from the village of Polystipos, in the village of Lagoudera, it is found the church of Virgin Mary of Araka. This temple belongs in the architectural type of single sloped temples with cupola and it was built in the dues of 12th century. The church murals were created in 1192 and has the most ev...

The house was generally great and we had no trouble finding it using (SENSITIVE CONTENTS HIDDEN) maps. A nice cosy home in the hills above Polystipos. If you have a car you can easily drive to many nearby towns, wineries, monasteries and even mount Olympus. The house has plenty of space, plenty of blankets, is pretty clean. The best part is definitely the mountain air, which really did smell like pines and the amazing views from the porch. Definitely watch a sunrise if you stay. Stavros was a good host and very quick to respond to email and text. A few details about the house should be clarified in the description. The WiFi only works from one corner of the house, only some of the time, and only on some devices. Do not pick this place if you want to be online constantly. The house has a nice clothes line, and with the mountain winds things dry quickly. We had rain every night and day but still got all our clothing washed. The hot water for showers is not very intuitive, unless you've used similar systems before. Once you figure it out its fine. However the shower has very low pressure. Severe rain storms may make the house lose power (only happened to us once) and it was back up in under thirty minutes. The place is a good spot and a good deal! Use it as your base to explore Troodos.

ConallOctober 2015

House of Stavros is situated in the calm mountains village, where all people greeting each other. The view from the house is fantastic. Everything you need is in house - from barbecue to washing mashine, not mention of essential things like towels, blankets and so on. The house is very comfortable. 2 bedrooms – one with 2 level bed, where my children (3 and 11 years old) were glad to sleep and large bed for me and my wife, another bedroom with large bed was for our friend, who came with us. Large balcony with table and chairs, 2 tables outside for barbecue dinner... The weather in the beginning of august is great – when it is hot in Limassol, in mountains it's about 25-28 during the day, and about 18-20 during the night. I highly recommend this house, if you want to escape from hot and stay in calm peace place with great view!

OlegAugust 2015

I did not get a chance to meet Stavros but he seems like a nice guy. The cabin was very cosy and secluded, located in a pine forest with a beautiful view of the mountain. This place was fantastic. There are a few neighborhood dogs that hang out around the cabin, one of them is friendly but territorial toward male dogs at times. There is a working barbecue, wood - burning stove heater, a garden with various herbs, spices, and fruits. The house is equipped with everything you would need. I enjoyed my stay here and would highly suggest staying at this cabin.

HarrisonOctober 2016

Stavros place was perfect ! the house is clean & cozy. The location is beautiful, a small gorgeous village up in the mountains. The house provided us everything we need, & the host was corresponding & very nice! We highly recommend the place!

AnatJuly 2016

This place is indeed a place in heavens! It is a small, older home, with all the lovely energy of its owners in it, extremely fullly equipped with every little thing you might need for your vacation. My spouse and I went to the mountain to unwind and work online in the beautiful scenery. Upon arrival, we tried logging into the wifi, which was a public open network from the village, and couldn't really load any page. It might be because we were there on a national holiday and the place was full of visitor-users. But the house has no wifi itself and neither could we rely on our 3Gs because there is no connection up there. We ended up just relaxing and forgetting about the whole thing which wasn't really bad either! :-) What also made us don't want to leave, was the dog "Goufos"!!! We don't know whose it is, but he had a collar and seemed to be familiar with the house. My brother's kids who came for lunch just adored him. He is the most quite and lovely dog we ever met!!!

Take a trip into the mountains to discover an alternate view of the island. Rising to almost 2,000 metres above sea level, the Troodos peaks provide panoramic scenes to all corners of the island, a cool retreat from the heat of the coast and popular for taking in the healthy mountain air and enjoying nature in all its majesty.
Charming villages, some with cobbled streets and preserved folk architecture, nestle on terraced slopes amongst the pines or amid vineyards and orchards.
Wander through the village roads in the Solea Valley, known as the “apple valley” and Marathasa, known as “valley with cherry trees”. Those areas are renowned for their traditional architecture and their Byzantine churches and monasteries. Explore the traditional character of the villages of Pitsilia area, the picturesque of the area, the interesting churches and the hospitality of their inhabitants and also the Wine Villages (Krasochoria), renowned for their vineyards and wine. A number of small wineries welcome visitors on wine tasting tours.
Burbling mountain streams and nightingale’s songs are often the only sounds to fill the air in a region that poets have waxed lyrical over. The Troodos mountains are where the painted churches of Cyprus can be found, superb examples of Byzantine art, ten of which have been put on UNESCO’s World Heritage List.
There’s much you can do from mountain biking, to playing tennis, angling in one of the dams, or even skiing in winter. A series of nature trails will take you through areas of exceptional beauty among scented pines, running streams and the occasional waterfall, stopping at a shady picnic site. Some of these form part of the European path E4, an international network of long-distance walking routes crossing the whole of Europe.
Known scientifically as the Troodos ophiolite complex, the area was created about 80 million years ago and rose from the sea about 20 million years ago to create the island. It is one of the most widely studied geological formations in the world and has shed much light on the birth of the earth’s crust.
The specific climatic conditions created by the high altitudes and the peculiar geological substratum may have contributed to the unique flora found on Troodos with nearly 800 different plant species, 72 endemics, 12 of which found nowhere else in the world. Occasionally, if one is lucky, one may spot a Cyprus mouflon, a kind of wild sheep peculiar to the island, which roams free in the extensive forests and has been used as the symbol for the island’s national carrier. Birdwatchers may spot the rare and protected eagles or the colourful hoopoe with pink body, black and white crest and a call which can be heard from miles around.
The villa is about 60 km from Nicosia (about 35 minutes drive) and located in the scenic village of Kannavia.
Car is necessary
Pool heating is available at an extra charge of Euro50 per day with a minimum of charge of 200.

The villa is beautiful, clean and very well equipped; the scenery is beautiful, the pool is great.

It was a pleasure staying in Lioness Fountain. The location was great and there were plenty of signs on the way to the house which made it easy to find! It was very clean with all the essential amenities provided. The rooms where big enough and cozy . It was exactly like in the photos and the host was very helpful. We thank you!

Yes, it is as good as it looks in the pictures! This house is beautiful and unique. We had a wonderful family vacation and I hope we'll be able to come again some day.

OhadOctober 2016

The property was as described and as seen. It offered us a peaceful and private place that was away from it all ... the living room and the outdoor space stole the show. We all enjoyed our stay there so much that we will be returning again in the near future! Costas was always helpful and made himself available via telephone throughout our stay; he was also quick in responding to our quires about the property once we got up there. Thanks for everything Costa.

Mario&AlexSeptember 2014

Costas responded promptly to any questions that I had prior to arrival and his team returned our calls once we had arrived. Unfortunately the pool was green when we arrived and required two days to get clear and clean which was a shame as these were the only two days we had in full at the villa. Eventually the water did clear up. The location is very remote but easy to find if travelling from Nicosia or Larnaca, extra attention is required if travelling from Paphos. The villa is stunning and the pictures are exactly what you get. A wonderful communal space with excellent balcony.

Ideal area for hikes. Cypriot village life at its best, not changed for years. Untouched natural environment.

A newly build fully furnished and equipped one bedroom house with its own courtyard. Situated in Polystypos, a traditional and picturesque Cypriot village on the Troodos mountains.
The house is located in a protected pine forest just outside the village.

I wanted to stay more time there. Spectacular sunrise and sunset you can see out of your bedroom window.

We were happy to meet both Andreas and his wife, a charming couple. Andreas made clear this apartment smaller but we agreed to move here from 2 bedroom accommodation as not available for our full stay. This appartement fine for 1 couplebut we found rather smallfor 2 (mature) couples, we were a little on top of each other. Still a good base for our holiday and don't miss visiting the small monasteries (part of UNESCO heritage programme.

Это просто потрясающее место, вид с балкона на долину, запах розмарина и сосен, очень комфортный дом, помимо всего необходимого - качественно и красиво. Очень легко добраться по навигатору. При наличии автомобиля -это место стоит посетить, отдохнуть от шума городской суеты. It's just an amazing place, great view from the balcony over the Valley, the smell of Rosemary and pine. A very comfortable house, in addition to all the necessary. quality and beautiful decor. Very easy to reach with Navigator. If tou have a car-this place is worth a visit to relax from the hustle and bustle of.

I had very nice time in Andreas apartment. Due to changes in my itinerary I had to change the place of my accommodation. Andreas let me change my booking from his place in Troodos to his apartment in Larnaca without any problems. Therefore, my review applies to "city centre one bedroom apartment" in Larnaca. The flat was very clean and it had everything I could need and more. Localisation is very good, close to sea (balcon view on marina) and monuments, bars and shops. Andreas was wonderful host that take care of his guest. He made sure I had no problem with finding the flat and moving around the city. I recommend this host and his apartment in Larnaca.

AleksandraMarch 2016

Perfect place to relax. Amazing view, quiet, beautiful nature. There are everything in the house for comfort living. 10 min walk to shop (mini), 20 min walk to good restaurant. Tasty apples, figs, pomegranates grow in the garden. Andreas is helpful host, we enjoy our vacation.

AliceOctober 2014

First the place, we (young couple) love the house! It is the paradise we have been searching for long but not always able to find it. It is located far from main road in a quiet small but rich heritage village, we enjoy the complete quietness with merely natural sounds of frogs, insects etc. Andreas is very professional from the first minutes I secured the confirmation, clearly communicate my questions and meticulously provides every detailed amenities needed in the house. Hot water shower is one of the most abundance we have enjoyed, there is an electrical heater to warm up the place (in my time, early May, inside building temp is around 17C, still a bit cold) to about 22C, perfect temp for sleeping. The atmosphere and deco are cozy and conducive, the view from the verandah is superb, you can't believe to welcome the sunlight in the morning. I am lucky to have chance to meet Andreas in person, as how he is looked like in the pic, friendly, professional and dedicated person. I would say Andreas knows what the guests need in this kind of self-equipped apartment. I also want to commend another guest's review, the small road from Alona to Agros really has one of the best view and scenery over entire Troodos, and the whole road is yours!

Chi YangMay 2014

As everybody mentioned above - it is very peaceful, quite and beautiful place with an amazing view from the balcony. And pure air. Very pure air. In the night you will hardly hear anything. In the morning the birds will wake you up. The apartment is in a good condition. Andreas gave us a cot for our baby. There wasn't microwave oven, but it's not big deal. I recommend you buying some food and water before arriving, because there are very few grocery stores.

My place is close to great views, family-friendly activities, and restaurants and dining. My place is good for couples, solo adventurers, and families (with kids). Located on Troodos Mountain our house is ideal for people that would like to combine agrotourism with Limassol nightlife and beach. The house is located only 30 minutes from Limassol. The bus to Limassol is conveniently pass outside the house. Behind the house you will find a beautiful family orchard. Balconies around the house.

Our family really enjoyed Nicholas' house and hospitality. I arrived in a mountain village at dusk has navigation and did not know where to look for the house. We call host, and he arrived to meet us and escorted to the door. We were very pleased. Cottages, well we found what we needed and even more: a fully equipped kitchen with all appliances and plenty of dishes, beautiful and clean rooms, 2 bathrooms. We visited during the off-season no effect on heating, so it was a little uncomfortable in the evening. Everything else was great. Thank you Nicholas and his father Chris families.

A great place to stay especially if you like a wooded setting and separation from crowds. The view from our suite number three was excellent however there seem to be differences in the view from one suite to another. We did not meet Andreas us but he was an excellent host and had good communication. We also enjoyed walking with the friendly dogs who lived nearby. The kitchen was well equipped and there were plenty of linens. You might want to bring your own face clothes and paper towels. The large shower was a treat.

Mr Andreas is a very welcoming host. He showed us to the flat which is at the bottom of the house and he answered all of our questions. He was very kind and polite. One of the reasons why we picked to stay at this house was reading in the reviews about a golden retriever (Waffle) who lives at the property. We met him as soon as we arrived and we went for walks together, he hung out with us and played in the yard. Our stay in Polystypos was great and I would highly recomment the house and the host to anyone looking to stay in the mountains.

RafaellaSeptember 2016

What a fabulous place this is. I absolutely loved staying in the village, the local people could not have been more friendly. I would definitely recommend this warm and welcoming area to anyone that is looking to escape the busy tourist areas of the island. 5 stars from me!!!

SarahJune 2013

Andreas' cosy little apartment in the mountains was the perfect place for a relaxing weekend getaway. The actual apartment was extremely clean and comfortable and the little garden covered in beautifully smelling flowers and with a stunning view of the mountains was gorgeous. The place is extremely quiet and private. I would recommend this to anyone and will definitely be visiting again! Thank you Andreas.

We met Andreas and his wife. They were very friendly and invited us in their flat. They gave us informations about Cyprus and tipps for walkings in the mountains.

BerndOctober 2013

Located in the Trodos mountain area, this appartement is a wounderful place to stay for everyone who want to relax. There a several hiking tours around as well as old churches with wounderful frescos. You need a car to get to Polystypos and Andreas was very helpful on the phone to find the appartement. It is a nice, clean and well equipped flat with everything you need. There are two small shop in the village, restaurants and supermarkets can be found in the bigger villages near by. We really enjoyed staying here. Thanks Florian and Meta

There is a bus traveling to the Shed and from the Shed to The Capital , and the nearest Village

Andreas is a very friendly, honest and careful host. He spent a lot of time trying to communicate us the way how to get to the shed. He left flashlights on a window so it was easier to find the shed at night when we came, it was a good idea. Unfortunately, it is quite cold there in autumn nights (when it is about 12 Celsius outside) so you definitely have to have sleeping bags, as the host suggests. Probably, situation is better in summer. Andreas brought a gas stove, but we managed to light it only in the morning. I think we should better make it earlier :-) The shed lies on a slope of a mountain and it has a nice view to the mountains. There is a little road for a car. We walked upwards in the morning and saw lots of beautiful viewpoints. The views are wonderful! Also, night sky is very interesting and you can see hundreds or thousands stars.

She also left a Christmas tree and decorations out for us so we could enjoy a proper Christmas in the mountains which was very kind. There are beautiful walks around the area, and Zoe suggested lots of other things we could do there too. We all felt very welcome and at home. Now we are just wondering when we can book again?!
